Poured into a stout glass. Pours an opaque black with two fingers of creamy tan head that dissipates slowly into a cap and leaves decent lacing. Had aromas of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and bold citrus. Taste is very roasty with big citrus in the middle. Some dark chocolate begins the finish, but orange peel lingers for a long while. Drinks really big for the ABV, it's a slow sipper through and through.

Overall: Very hoppy and big for a porter, and I wouldn't expect anything less from FFF. This is one of the best FFF beers, and that puts it pretty high up there in the market place.

A - Pours a super dark brown that closely approaches black in the glass. A finger of frothy mocha head hangs around for a couple of minutes and slowly falls to leave a thick coating of webby lacing on the glass.

T - Roasty with strong coffee notes, rather burnt and more than a little astringency to go along with the char. Some tart cherries, dark fruits. Not as complex as the aroma...extremely roasty and burnt from beginning to end.

M - Medium bodied with a crisp mid level carbonation. Roasty and charred throughout with a lingering acrid character. A rather high astringency that goes a bit beyond what could be expected with the high burnt flavors alone. Has a lingering tart, sour cherry fruitiness.
